Configuring the Nuxeo Platform as a Daemon with Systemd

Here is a systemd script which starts Nuxeo as a daemon or like any other service after Elasticsearch and PostgreSQL.

/etc/systemd/system/nuxeo.service

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Copy the systemd script to /etc/systemd/system/nuxeo.service, replacing paths to match your installation.
Enable the autostart creating the links in the rcX.d directories running the command (as root):
```
$ systemctl daemon-reload
$ systemctl enable nuxeo
```
Restart the machine and verify that the Nuxeo Platform is started automatically looking at the log file.

If you want to remove the automatic startup use the command (as root):

$ systemctl disable nuxeo

You can manage the service with the following command:

systemctl [start|stop|reload] nuxeo
